Bamboo Farm Owner seeks advice - highest and best use for land

I bought 14 acres about 3 yrs ago b/c i have horses. The property came with an extensive forest of bamboo - probably about 5 acres of bamboo. there is about 3 or 4 different kinds. i understand that the previous owners of the property harvested the shoots and sent them to MN for canning. in the spring several asian neighbors come for shoots. my question is, is anyone out there putting their bamboo into some kind of production? is it feasible for me to be a supplier to a manufacturer? plenty of people talk about products made from bamboo, but does anyone have actual experience launching a bamboo business and what product did you focus on and why? i would like my bamboo to find a higher purpose in life. (if anyone knows any entrepreneurial farmers would would know how to market and harvest a corp for some sort of share, pls contact).
